Chapter 755 Stars and the Emperor
Han Xu watched with his own eyes as the camp expanded like a balloon.
Just a few months, three months? Or four months, or even or just two months?
It has grown from a wooden camp with only a few dozen people to a town with tens of thousands of people.
Houses were built one after another, roads extended out, and farmland was reclaimed.
People who don't know where they come from flock here one after another, and then quietly disappear without knowing when.
Maybe one day I will disappear from here like those who disappeared.
“Crack!”
While the ragged young man was thinking about it, a whip struck him on the back.
"Work quickly, if this road is not completed in two days, you will have no choice but to become stars!"
"Haha, the star is a comet, right?"
"A bunch of trash, working so slowly!"
A few tall and strong supervisors were beating a group of people who were working hard to dig gullies. , the coolies who smoothed the road.
Han Xu dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. He just stepped up his work and dumped the cart of gravel he was pushing on the road, then picked up the shovel and spread it out.
"You, how can you do this? There are so many bulldozers that are not in use, why do we have to do it with our hands?"
A younger man, who looked like he was just 18 years old, had a red face, but he was angry.
There are also several whip marks on his back.
"Oh, you dare to talk back? This is what the adults ordered, you have the guts to ask!" A short and fat supervisor suddenly became furious.
A few whips were struck on the young man again, causing him to roll all over the floor.
There were thick blood marks all over his legs, arms, and back.
"Okay, okay, don't beat people to death. There are death quotas above. If there are too many people dead, we have to work for them..."
"If you can't beat them to death, these are in the honeypot." They're such rubbish, they have a good physique but no eyesight. They thought they were in the main world, but there are stars here!" the pudgy supervisor said indifferently.
However, he finally stopped the whip in his hand, kicked the young man's feet again, and then left with a curse.
Stars?
Is this the official name of this place?
Han Xu remembered this place firmly. He knew that his family would definitely look for him and would make great efforts to find him.
As long as he finds a way to reveal the name of this place, he has hope of leaving here.
When he and his friends first got lost here, no one knew the exact name of this place.
He could have been a member of the management, but it was because he wanted to escape and tried to escape that he became a coolie.
This is not heaven, this is hell.
Every day, people are selected to make movies, TV series, animations, novels... It's like a film and television base.
However, few of those people come back.
Here, being selected as a star means that death is not far away. The more famous you are, the more movies you will take. You will always meet a director who likes to torture the male and female protagonists...< br>
He used to love adventure and always felt that what he wanted was hidden somewhere in the wild.
Eight cows couldn't be pulled back, and now he finally regretted it - if he didn't inherit a good family fortune worth hundreds of millions, why would he seek death?
Becoming a heterogeneous person may only be a dream, just like the ordinary employees in the company who want to become the son-in-law of their Han family, so as to reach the sky, own shares in the company, and reach the pinnacle of life...
Everyone wants to become the son-in-law of their Han family. There are things that you can’t achieve but that you desperately want.
The First Emperor was rich and powerful, and he also wanted to live forever.
Fengchan Taishan several times, but in the end still got nothing.
In his time, although the total number of alien species was only tens of thousands different from what it is now; human productivity was too low and the total number collected was too small. People who had become aliens definitely did not want to A powerful emperor also became one of them.
Because that means confinement.
"Even the former emperor may not be able to become a mutant. It's time to wake up from the dream." Han Xu muttered in a low voice.
At this time, an old man in rags and rags next to him, pushing a wheelbarrow, just smiled when he heard this.
"Old sir, why are you laughing?" Han Xu asked.
"I laugh at you for still having little experience. I was once an emperor, and then gave up the throne and became a mutant. I have lived till now." The old man shook his head.
"Just you?" Han Xu couldn't help but laugh.
He looked at the old man carefully and saw that he was rather thin, about 1.6 meters tall, with a square face and a large black mole at the corner of his mouth, which was the most obvious.
“You don’t believe it?” The old man with black mole said with a smile. "If you were a mutant, how could you be locked up here and work hard with me?"
"I came here on a mission, and this is not my true identity." The old man with black mole glanced around and whispered.
"It sounds like... I know what you do, but I won't tell you." Han Xu sneered.
When he thought about it, this old man with black mole must be a bastard who penetrated into the coolies and found out what they were doing.
The older you get, the more you fear death. This is what the old liar said.
The other party will deliberately lure others to escape, and then catch the most unstable people in order to scare the monkeys.
Of course, none of the coolies are stable, except for those guys from Nanzhu.
Does that count as a human being?
It’s just livestock.
The two soon stopped talking, because the overseer's whip came again.
I worked all morning, but fortunately the food was just fine. I had plenty of white rice, and there was even a big bowl of pork rib soup, and half a bowl of kimchi to take away.
Of course the ribs were picked away by the supervisors.
This is probably the reason why those Nanzhu people are satisfied.
But to Han Xu, this was no different from pig food, and far worse than what his dog ate.
Even though he was tired all morning, he still ate three large bowls of rice, took out a large bowl of soup, and ate all the kimchi that he usually looked down upon.
Two hours break at noon.
Judging from the meal and rest time, we know that the supervisors will not use the coolies to death.
Han Xu found a tree on the sunny side and sat down to bask in the sun. The temperature was still a bit low now.
The rags on my body can't block the cold air.
At this time, the old man with the black mole came close to him and poked him.
"What are you doing? Don't lie to me. I annoy you the most with unskilled liars." Han Xu leaned to the side.
“Boy, if it were now four hundred years ago, you would have been disrespectful and would have been beheaded…” the old man with the black mole said with a smile.
"Oh, four hundred years ago it was the Daxing Empire. Which emperor are you? What is your reign and when did you retire?" Han Xu said with disdain.
He is very interested in history. After all, many stories about aliens and the process of their creation can be found in history.
So he was confident that if this old man was just a young man who was temporarily recruited to deceive coolies, he would definitely not know this knowledge.
Don’t talk about things that happened four hundred years ago, but it was a major event ten years ago. How many ordinary people can remember the specific time?
"The third generation emperor of Daxing, the Holy Ancestor Yuanfeng Emperor, ascended the throne at the fifteenth year, stayed in power for forty-five years, and abdicated." The old man with the black mole said lightly.
His eyes were looking into the distance, as if he was lost in distant memories.
Han Xu was slightly startled and looked at the old man carefully again.
He finally discovered that the other person's eyes and posture contained an aura and confidence that far surpassed that of his father, Chairman Han...
Uh, it can't be true, can it?
The time and year the other party mentioned are indeed accurate.
However, a clever liar can also do this, after all, he is only a human being with naked eyes.
"Then do you know what seemingly inconspicuous but very important achievements this Emperor Yuan Feng has?" Han Xu decided to continue testing.
He will not be deceived by the other party's empty words.
"His most important achievement was to create a yamen of Dengxiansi and give away his world to others. He was scolded by future generations for his whole life. The rise of Daxing was due to Yuanfeng, and the fall of Daxing was caused by Yuanfeng. Yuan Feng." The old man said calmly.
"Hahaha, you are indeed a liar. Who doesn't know that Emperor Yuanfeng's most inconspicuous achievement, but also the most important achievement, is actually to ignore the opposition of the courtiers, change the land strategy, spend a lot of effort, capture and capture the Immigrated to the Liujia Gorge in the South China Sea, and then controlled the main route between the east and the west, promoting exchanges between the east and the west, thus allowing Dongzhou to rise again," Han Xu sneered.
The old man with black mole was speechless when he heard this, and then looked at the young man.
He nodded slightly: "What you said makes sense. It was precisely because of that incident that he was recognized and believed that he could transcend his own class, not be bound by the ideas of the imperial family, and then be accepted into the society. Go into the world of aliens."
"Humph, that's so good. I understand. You must be a star playing the emperor. You probably did something wrong on the set, so you fell into this trap again. As a coolie. But this may not be a bad thing, after all, everyone knows that going to the set is looking for death; working as a coolie is just waiting for death." Han Xu laughed.
He felt so stupid for saying so much to the other party.
It seems that this coolie work is not heavy enough.
